The Friday Fishwrap

All the news that's fit to wrap around a dead fish

The week in review

Monday - "Oh no! I haven't sent my Christmas cards yet! Now what?" It's still not too late. It probably won't arrive before Christmas Day but "...even if you don't make it by Christmas, your card will still have the same, if not more, impact even if it arrives a few days late. Remember: The only card that's too late is the one that's never sent."

Tuesday - "Budgeting doesn’t have to suck" An article from The Art of Manliness. "NO! Don’t do it! Bad! Bad! Work only with what you have at the moment…not a penny more."

Wednesday - "Some will...Some won't...So what? Next!" An old network marketing adage. "And it's absolutely true. About 2% will and 98% won't. The question should be "So what can I do about it?"

Thursday - "Strong ties #TBT" Are your weak ties more powerful than your strong ones? "And there is also the theory that weak ties can be more influential than strong ties, because your strong ties tend to be more like you, therefore they already tend to know the same people you do and they know about the same things, such as job openings, as you do."
